Pro Tools, Firewire 800 and Canopus boxes

There has been a thread on the DUC about using a Canopus box on Macs that don’t have Firewire 400 ports.

Apparently the Canopus spec only supports 1394 and 1394 and not 1394b (FW800) so the news looked gloomy.

However a number of users have tried using a simple FW800 to 400 adaptor cable and it has worked fine.
